Indian Space Research Organisation has set a three-year goal to retrieve lunar soil and return it to Earth. If successful, India will join an exclusive group of nations that includes the US, former Soviet Union, and China, who have previously achieved this feat. Chief S Somanath also revealed ISRO's future plans, which include launching the first modules of India's own space station, Bharatiya Antariksha Station, by 2028. The space agency aims to operate no-debris satellites by avoiding collisions by 2030.
